    100% VA P&T Rated - w/20 Year Letter - Pursue MEB vs. Transfer to Retired Reserve? (2023)

    Question for you. Say I get 20 good years under my belt, and transfer to the IRR. 1. Can I somehow "request" an MEB review, and/or "trigger" one? I already have 100% P&T rating from the VA, can I use my justification from the conditions under that rating? I do not have LODs from Reserve duty...

    100% VA P&T Rated - w/20 Year Letter - Pursue MEB vs. Transfer to Retired Reserve? (2023)

    Good to know, that is considerably higher than my VA rating pay. I guess I would be taking the chance though, that my MEB rating might turn out less than my VA rating? If I hit my 20 good year mark, and go to IRR, can I still request MEB process (before submitting retirement paperwork). Do you...

    100% VA P&T Rated - w/20 Year Letter - Pursue MEB vs. Transfer to Retired Reserve? (2023)

Or would I "forfeit" my future military pension, BECAUSE I am receiving Ch...

    100% VA P&T Rated - w/20 Year Letter - Pursue MEB vs. Transfer to Retired Reserve? (2023)

    Oh I see, yes we are! Good question, I am not sure if I am able to shave 5 years off for retirement...I thought there was some sort of maximum, I want to say 58 for me, but maybe I am wrong. I am hoping my PHA triggers it, all my past PHAs I complained a little, but I didn't try very hard to get...

    Reservist with 17 years and 100% VA rating Med Retirement

    I am a reservist with a VA rating of 100% P&T. Is there a way I can still go through the MEB process, and get medically retired, vs just quietly transferring to the Army Retired Reserve, and wait until I am 60 to collect my regular pension? It would be much more preferable to me to collect the...
